Cookie Policy
SaaSical LLC DBA FoodieLot
Effective Date: October 18, 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how SaaSical LLC, doing business as FoodieLot (“FoodieLot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar technologies on foodielot.com and related services (the “Platform”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By using the Platform, you agree to the use of cookies as described here, except for cookies that require your consent, which we will use only where you have provided it.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and software development kits (SDKs), which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this Policy.
Cookies may be “first-party” (set by FoodieLot) or “third-party” (set by a service provider we use). They may be “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (remaining until they expire or you delete them).
3. Types of Cookies We Use
a. Strictly Necessary Cookies.
These are essential for the Platform to work — for example, to log you in, keep your session secure, and remember items during account setup or checkout of Vendor/Host fees. The Platform cannot function properly without these, so they do not require consent.
b. Functional Cookies.
These remember your preferences and choices — for example, your location for “near me” results, saved favorites, and display settings — to give you a more personalized experience.
c. Analytics/Performance Cookies.
These help us understand how visitors use the Platform (e.g., which pages are viewed and how features are used) so we can improve it. The information is generally aggregated.
d. Advertising/Targeting Cookies.
If and when we use these, they help measure and, where applicable, deliver marketing relevant to you. We will use advertising cookies only where you have consented, and you can withdraw consent at any time. If we do not use advertising cookies, this category will not apply to you.
4. Cookies We Use
The table below describes the cookies and similar technologies used on the Platform. Specific cookie names, providers, and durations may change; the categories describe how we use them. [REVIEW AND UPDATE THIS TABLE TO MATCH THE COOKIES ACTUALLY SET ON YOUR LIVE SITE — A COOKIE SCANNER CAN GENERATE THIS LIST.]
| Cookie / Technology | Type | Category | Purpose | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [session/auth cookie] | First-party | Strictly Necessary | Keeps you logged in and secures your session | Session |
| [CSRF/security token] | First-party | Strictly Necessary | Protects against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| [location preference] | First-party | Functional | Remembers your “near me” location and preferences | Up to 12 months |

| [payment processor cookie] | Third-party | Strictly Necessary | Supports secure processing of Vendor/Host fees and fraud prevention | Varies by provider |
| [advertising cookie, if used] | Third-party | Advertising/Targeting | Measures/delivers marketing (only with consent) | Varies by provider |
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services to us, such as analytics providers and our payment processor. These third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control third-party cookies, and we encourage you to review the relevant third party’s policy for more information.
6. How to Manage Cookies
- Cookie controls: Where required by law, we present a cookie banner or preference tool that lets you accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time through that tool [LINK TO YOUR COOKIE SETTINGS/PREFERENCE CENTER].
- Browser settings: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Platform may not function properly.
- Analytics opt-out: Some analytics providers offer opt-out tools (for example, browser add-ons). Availability depends on the provider we use.
- Do Not Track: Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal. Because there is no common industry standard for responding to these signals, the Platform may not respond to them, except where required by law.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal or operational reasons. We will post the updated Policy with a new Effective Date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice.
